Ansible Automation Fundamentals

Who is this workshop best for?

System administrators and operators who manage and configure enterprise Linux systems. Attendees should have little to no experience with Ansible or the Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform. 

This is a beginners’ level course that covers Ansible fundamentals for common system administration scenarios. Attendees should have basic Linux administration skills and experience using standard commands such as curl, cd, tree, mkdir and understand Linux filesystems as well as standard package management (e.g. yum).
